Chapter 4: The Self and Interaction- ID, Ego, and Superego. page 104-105
The three interrelated parts that make up the mind.
The first part is ID and it's main goal is to achieve pleasure and avoid pain. Blade shows this when he kills vampires and his one main goal is to kill as many as possible and to get to the leader of the vampires. It brings a sense of great relief and pleasure knowing one more vampire is killed. With Ego, it deals with the real world. It operates on the basis of reason and helps mediate and integrate the demands of both ID and Superego. Blade shows this when there goes another day when he could not find his mother's killer and will continue to kill vampires until all are killed and finds his mother's killer. Superego is composed of both the conscience and the ego-ideal.This means that the superego helps suppress the urge to kill your competitor and keeps you working toward getting that raise. Blade suppresses his urge to an extent. He does not let an officials see him, such as police men or pedestrians.

A social group whose members are bound by some type of tie-legal,biological,emotional,or a combination of both.
Blade does not have any biological family, but he does have family in an emotional aspect. The Whistler is considered family to blade because he helped raise him and always helps him in a time of need. They also share a history of killing vampires together.
